I have always had pain in my gut. I thought it was stess from my job. Finally I was tested and apparently I have had this diease for years. Because it had gone untreated part of my colon developed scar tissue and had to be taken out. The surgery was not fun. I still have pain, but not as much and don't need to use the restroom as often. To keep it under control I take oral meds and do an IV treatment every ten weeks at the hospital. Thanks for asking.
